Although this has been open for a while, it wasn't until my husband came here with friends and came back with rave reviews, that we made a rare decision to have brunch just the 2 (+1) of us.
I love the high ceilings and spacious dining area. There is also a semi private area for large groups. Seemed like this Sunday morning our side was full of mommies and mommy to be's. It had lots of space for our stroller. It's trendy without being too pretentious.
The price point is not cheap but affordable. Perfect for this neighbourhood I think, and MUCH better food quality than O&B. The menu for brunch is diverse with Eggs Benny and French Toasts with a twist. It was the Duck Confit French Toast that my hb couldn't stop talking about.
I decided to start with scones. It was really good and I recommend it. Warm and soft but it was really crumbly everywhere. We weren't given any plates for this and we just made a mess of the table.
I got the Peanut Brittle + Banana French Toast. It was one of those dishes that look better on paper than in real life. The caramelized banana was nice, but the french toast itself was a little dense, and didn't seemed soaked enough with batter. I'm sure it was there, but I'm not sure where the peanut brittle was.
Hubby got the brisket benny. It was tasty, but not mind blowing. Needed more hollandaise. It was a little dry but very filling.
I still would want to go again, and try the duck confit french toast I've heard so much about.
It was Sunday afternoon. Lots of space, although most people sat outside in the patio.
